Portugal is a popular retirement destination due to its excellent weather, low cost of living, and one of the safest countries globally, coupled with a top-notch healthcare system.
Julien Faliu describes the Portuguese healthcare system as one of the best in Europe, with modern hospitals accessible and affordable prices compared to the U.S., though U.S. retirees need their own insurance.
Retirees must choose between the D7 visa, requiring a steady passive income, or the D9 golden visa, which allows family coverage but requires a minimum investment.
Bureaucratic procedures for residency can be slow in Portugal, and potential retirees should be prepared for a processing time of up to six months.
